Reviews:
"...[Silverstone is] dead-on....A satirical portrait..." - Recommended - 01/01/1996 Premiere, p.109
"...Silverstone is a winner. And so is the movie, which also functions as a lunatic update of 'Emma'..." - 08/10/1995 Rolling Stone, p.62-64
"...Alicia Silverstone goes to the head of the comedy class as Cher in the oft-hilarious high-school parody CLUELESS....[She] beams throughout..." -- 3 out of 4 stars - 07/19/1995 USA Today, p.1D
"...A fresh, disarmingly bright and at times explosively funny comedy..." Variety
"...Clever and amusing....[The] direction is dead-on as well, with every actor in the extensive cast both understanding and responding admirably to the material..." - 07/19/1995 Los Angeles Times, p.F1
"...CLUELESS is a smart and funny movie, and the characters are in on the joke....It will appeal to anyone who has a sense of humor and an ear for the ironic..." - 07/19/1995 Chicago Sun-Times, p.43
"Arguably the CITIZEN KANE of mall-rat movies, Heckerling's savvy transposition of Jane Austen's EMMA to rich-kid California remains a delight." - 02/01/2006 Sight and Sound, p.87
"Thirteen years after she directed FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, Heckerling still had a jeweler's eye for the tics and traits of teens who hang out at the mall." -- Grade: B+ - 05/04/2012 Entertainment Weekly
"CLUELESS, a major career move for Mr. Rudd, was a beloved film of the 1990s, and one that still captures a cultural moment with precision and hilarity." - 03/21/2013 Wall Street Journal
